Elsa is a master at finding the tight knots and fascia, and is as good as they come at gently working them out.

I go to Elsa for release of my tight fascia as well as for manual lymphatic drainage of fluid from my calves, ankles, and feet. Elsa also combines myofascial release with specific yoga poses to improve my flexibility for those poses. She is great at both diagnosis and treatment of my tightness no mattter how it occurs.
